Bilingual Education at EMASI Van Phuc Vietnam 2021-2022 Overview

2021-2022 Overview

 It certainly started as a turbulent school year.


We were locked in our homes. The news reports flooding into our homes was distressing. The pandemic was all around us, affecting our families, our health, our community.


Our entire community courageously faced the challenge. Our teaching and learning underwent a digital transformation and we adapted and navigated the challenges together. We grew together. We learned together.


And despite such an unusual start of the year, I’m pleased to report that our school year ended with all the familiarities of a regular school year.


As the school year ends, the lockdown seems like a far-off memory. In the past few months, students have had field trips, they have selected and enjoyed a variety of extra-curricular activities, they have had swimming lessons, sports activities, house events, in-person assemblies, and they made unforgettable memories with their teachers and classmates. 

  In the words of our beloved Head of School Ms Cuc “Thank you to EMASI families for your partnership and trust this year.”


We really are partners. We both want your children to have happy, healthy and meaningful


While our school year has ended, our work for your child's education continues.


Just this week our school signed an agreement with leading university placement organization Cialfo.

Cialfo is used by some of the region’s top international schools and they will be helping our students, counsellors and families with the university application process including selection and even scholarships.


Parents of grade 10-12 students will have an info session in the coming months and students will be sent access codes and receive training in the program shortly.
